Pakete sollen entfernt werden

[harley-peter]

Hallo,

ein du Versuch heute sagt mir dass folgende Pakete entfernt werden sollen:
gcj-6-jre gcj-6-jre-headless gcj-jre gcj-jre-headless

Ist das o. k. oder ist ein wenig Geduld angesagt?

[tommy2]

harley-peter, I had the same a few days ago and let them go and have not noticed any difference in my system. Also just did another DU and got an updated kernel, also with a reboot everything seems to be running smoothly.

I think libre-office is using java lots...

[tommy2]

Haven't noticed any changes in my system and Libre-Office seems to be working fine also after my last updates.

[Geier0815]

Isn't libreoffice using his own kind of java?

[devil]

It does.

[jure]

here it is the same system wide used java - 9.0.4 or 1.8.0_162

[harley-peter]

I use the application GenealogyJ with Java and also here with the version 9 it does not work anymore.

Another question:
On my system is installed a lot of JRE stuff:

Do I need all of them?

[devil]

You need the openjdk stuff. You are missing openjdk-9-jre.

[seasons]

If you need Java, you want to keep those.

But only if you need gcj over OpenJDK, right?
gcc6 has dropped gcj, so sid users either need to let the gcj packages go or hold the gcc6 packages.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892536

I don't see many dependents of libgcj17. Maybe if you use pdftk or kaimailio-java-modules, you hold the gcc6 packages. Otherwise, I think most user will want to let gcj go and advance forward with gcc6.
